ANDREW HOOK is an established writer in the UK independent press with over eighty short stories published in a variety of genres. Equally at home with writing speculative or straight fiction, Andrew refuses to be stymied or compartmentalised by marketplace considerations, believing that to write the story as it comes is a much more honest way to make a living (even if it’s not much of a living). Some of these stories have been collated in four short story collections published: The Virtual Menagerie (Elastic Press, 2002), Beyond Each Blue Horizon (Crowswing Books, 2005), Residue (HalfCut Publications, 2006), and Nitrospective (DogHorn Publishing, 2011). In addition to short fiction, the novellas And God Created Zombies and Ponthe Oldenguine were published by NewCon Press in 2009 and Atomic Fez in 2010, respectively.

Andrew has also worked as a publisher, freelance proofreader and typesetter, and was one of the five judges for the 2011 World Fantasy Awards.
